Adventure Awaits

My never ending catching up from the Summer of Chaos marches on. I had a lot of fun with this CSI case. I love me some earthy colors and this case was full of them! My daughter decided to do something different for her husband for his birthday this year. She set up a geo cache style scavenger hunt for him. She spent weeks planning where clues would be and what they would say. She started planting clues a few days before the big event. We were at the canoe leg, with a canoe, to provide help to one destination, if needed. It was at a porta potty in the middle of the lake and a storm was whipping up, so help was definitely needed!

To start off with, I had taken a photo of some maps, a compass and my husband's glasses that were left out after a planning session. I moved the photo into some phone editing apps and came up with an antique looking photo that I decided to use as my title. I used my brayer to spread around some brown paint to act as a matte over the fun patterned paper. I cut a variety of banners out of papers and some burlap, put my photos into a collage (all done on my phone), exported to the computer and printed off. I used a Tim Holtz compass blueprint stamp and some odds and ends. I also cut some clouds out of this cute graph paper design and found a brad that looked like a sun! Add a few stars, and I'm good to go.
